Saint-Clément-de-Rivière (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ klemɑ̃ də ʁivjɛʁ]; Languedocien: Sant Clamenç) is a municipality located close to Montpellier, in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region in southern France.

The town has also common limits with several other municipalities: Les Matelles in the north, Prades-le-Lez in the east, Montferrier-sur-Lez in the south-east, Grabels in the south-west and finally Saint-Gély-du-Fesc in the west.

It includes an area where inhabitants can find basic services and goods, such as a bakery, a hairdresser... and also a space with many private houses painted with Mediterranean colors.

The river Lez has its source on the territory of Saint-Clément-de-Rivière, in the north, in the Saint Sauveur forest, and then continues its way through some villages and crosses the city of Montpellier to finally end in the Mediterranean Sea.

Saint-Clément-de-Rivière was one of the municipalities supporting the « Republic of Montferrand», established during the 1270s to struggle against the Lord of Montpellier which wanted to tax those small villages.

Nowadays, those municipalities are still united in a community called « Communauté de communes du Grand Pic Saint-Loup », which counts 36 members as of 2024.

[3] During the 17th century, the project of building an aqueduct from a source of Saint-Clément-de-Rivière to the center of Montpellier appeared, in order to provide water to the population of the city.

The coat of arms of Saint-Clément-de-Rivière has, on the left side, a ram, which is the animal meant to have discovered the river's source with its hoof, according to the legend.
